Mr. Spiz: "Well, I asked Dr. Dipchit about you, but he told me not to, because he thought you were incompetent and stupid. But I personally thought Dr. Dipchit was an idiot, and didn't know what he was doing, so I figured he wouldn't know a good neurologist if one bit him on the ass. So since he didn't recommend you, I decided that was a good reason to come here."

I have to say that I have occasionally picked a doctor or two based solely on the fact that someone in my family thought he was stupid and not a very good doctor.

But see, I know that THOSE family members are, in fact, idiots. So if they hated him, I would give him a try to make up my own mind. Sometimes it is the best way to find a doctor.

I found out the reason why members of my family hate certain doctors. Apparently, doctors want you to take personal responsibility for your actions and health issues. So instead of giving them a magic pill (and I know you doctors are holding out on me when it come to the magic pill), they tell them what they need to change in their lives to be better. Apparently, that makes the doctor an idiot.

OMG. That's awesome. As someone who nearly got done in by a doctor or two who missed something (mostly because they didn't like me and wrote me off as a patient I think), I think this patient makes a lot of sense.

LOL Dr. G...I think that would be a compliment. Especially since we all know that Dr. Dipchit is well a dip$hit (isn't he the idiot in your building?). I bet the pt will go around telling everyone that Dr. Dipchit is an idiot too.

Welcome to my whining!
